CHAPTER XVII
Reward?
Suddenly hearing this, Yui was stunned for a moment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
(Isn't this a test game to experience fear?How can there be a reward?)
The voice seemed to see through her thoughts, and said with a smile, "You did a great job, beyond my expectations." So I think you should be rewarded with something. What do you want?"
Only then did Yui understand, her brain was spinning, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her heart, and she couldn't help but exclaim: "You are Your Majesty the Void Mask?"
Sui Xiong, whose identity was revealed, simply appeared, but it was a palm-sized green jellyfish, floating not far in front of Youyi.
"That's right, I'm keeping an eye on each and every one of the testers, hoping to find out what else is left to be true about the experience. Over the past few years, I have found a lot of problems. "The idea of this game is to make people face their fears, understand them, stop being afraid, and truly appreciate the fact that fear is a warning to the heart." According to the test results, although there is a certain effect, it is not good enough, and many test subjects feel more stimuli and are not able to really adapt to fear, and learn to distinguish between warning signs and illusions. This makes me a little regretful. β
Yui didn't quite understand what he meant, and after listening to it for a while, he couldn't help but be a little confused, and simply asked, "So, why did you give me a reward?"
"Because you're doing so well. Sui Xiong said with a smile, "I really didn't expect that there would be people in the world who would complete the adventure of a game of experiencing fear...... You've probably heard from the people who originally provided this story, who had lost so much in this adventure that they would have been wiped out if it weren't for the help of the good ghost. But with your wits and planning, the adventure went smoothly, and the group eliminated the evil spirits unscathed - admittedly, this is just a game, but everything is based on real adventures. In other words, you can kill evil spirits in this game, and in reality, you can also lead such a rookie adventure team to destroy a powerful evil spirit. β
As he spoke, he couldn't help but nod his head again and againβthough the jellyfish seemed a little weird about it: "This is a really remarkable thing, and it deserves my special appearance in front of you to give you an extra reward." β
"An extra reward?" Yui was slightly stunned, "In other words, ordinary people don't get rewards, right?"
"Of course, being able to experience the adventure and face the fears is a bonus in itself. If you have gained such valuable experience, how can you give it another reward?"
Yui fully understood, thought for a moment, and asked, "So, what kind of reward are you going to give me?"
Sui Xiong laughed again: "You little girl is really clever enough, kick the ball back to me!"
He paused and said, "In this world, although I dare not say that I can do everything, there are definitely not many things that cannot be done. As long as it's not too much to ask, I can help you make it happen. β
So it was Yuy's turn to be distressed, she didn't understand what the standard of this "excessive request" was, and after thinking about it, she didn't know what to ask for.
"Your Majesty Mask Void, if I wish I could be smarter, or more agile, or even more powerful...... Isn't that an excessive request?"
"Of course not. β
β...... So, if I want my mom and dad to be able to stay with me so often without being so busy, is that too much to ask?"
Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and shook his head: "This doesn't count." β
Yui smiled happily, "Then I'll want this reward!"
"Are you sure?" asked Sui Xiong, a little puzzled, "my reward is not easy to obtain! Why don't you give yourself some benefits, such as eternal youth, such as powerful magic, and then precious treasures...... I can give all of that. β
"But those things don't mean much to me. Yui said as a matter of course, "It's good to be able to get it, but it's okay if you can't get it." In contrast, I want my mom and dad to be with me all the time, and that's what I want most of all. β
Sui Xiong looked at her carefully, the girl's heart was clear, without any scheming, and she was indeed telling the truth.
He couldn't help but sigh softly: "Since you want your parents to be by your side so much, why do you like to be noisy when you are with them?"
Yui lowered his head: "I don't want to do that, but...... I can't help but want to make a noise at the thought that they will soon be gone again, busy and unsure of how long it will be before the next family gets together......"
"Alas!" Sui Xiong shook his head, "I can understand your thoughts, but what you did is not right!"
"So what do I do?" asked Yuy.
"You don't need me to teach you this, just ask a few older people. Sui Xiong smiled, and then became serious, "Let me be sure, do you really want to use this rare reward in exchange for your parents being less busy and being able to be by your side often?"
"Don't rush to be sure, I want to remind you: you are also fifteen years old this year, and in five or six years at most, you will be grown. When you reach your twenties, you're bound to go out on your own, and even if your parents want to be with you, you'll want them not to pester you too tightly and give you a little bit of your own space. And then in ten or twenty years, you will also have a family and a business of your own, and you will have your own children, will you still need your parents to accompany you at that time?"
"Of course, your parents are both legendary powerhouses, and it is not difficult for them to live to be eight hundred years old. Maybe in the future you will have gray hair, and they will still be as young and beautiful as they are now. Are you sure you want them to be with you all the time?"
Yui was a little shaken by what he said, lowered his head, and thought about it carefully.
"Little girl, you still have a long life to go, but the time you need to be with your parents is running out. Instead of putting the good to use that you may only get once in a lifetime, why not take a long-term view and think about the future?"
Yui nodded slightly, a little tempted by what he said.
"You see in nature, whether it's a bird or a beast, when you grow up, you have to act independently. People are no exception. Why don't you choose a wish that will make a difference in the future?"
Yue was silent.
Sui Xiong wanted to continue to persuade, but this time he was interrupted by her.
"Your Majesty Mask of the Void, could you please be quiet?" she said distressedly, "stop chattering like this, I'm so upset by what you said!"
Sui Xiong smiled awkwardly, as good as a stream.
So there was no other sound in this white light, only a girl with her head bowed and contemplative, facing the green jellyfish floating silently in front of her.
After a long time, Yui looked up, and his eyes were clear.
"You're right, I figured it out. She said, "I was really too short-sighted, I have to look far away!"
Sui Xiong smiled and nodded, but there was a slight regret in his heart.
He had a vague feeling that he seemed to be playing an undesirable role.
"What is your decision?" he asked, "what reward do you want?"
Yui smiled and didn't answer directly, but asked a question first: "Your Majesty Void Kamen, I don't know if you know, my parents are not your believers. β
"Of course I know that your mother believes in the goddess of wealth, and your father believes in the goddess of luck. Sui Xiong smiled and said, "Although they are not particularly devout believers, the two legendary powerhouses with infinitely bright futures have a very high status in their respective churches. I don't know about Lady Luck, but Lady Fortune has talked to me about your mother. β
Yui nodded, "That's right. According to the rules of the gods, in general, the gods only bless their own believers, right?"
"Yes, few gods bless those who don't believe in them. β
"So, I'd like to exchange my reward for you to bless my mom and dad like you bless your believers, okay?" Yue asked a little nervously, "Is such a request too much?"
Sui Xiong was stunned again, this time he was stunned for a while before asking, "Of course it's not too much, but why would you make such a request?"
"That's what I thought. Sui Xiong's answer made Yui very happy, and he smiled happily, "After all, I'm just an ordinary person, and I'm not sure if I can step into the legendary realm in the future." If I can't step into the realm of legends, then my life will probably be a few decades, two or three hundred years. In contrast, Mom and Dad are legendary powerhouses who can live for at least a thousand years, if not longer. β
"You just suggested that I look a little farther ahead, and after thinking about it carefully, I tried to look as far as I could, and I understood what I should chooseβas you said, this kind of good fortune is usually only once in a lifetime, so should it be used for me, who can only live for a few decades to two or three hundred years, or for my parents, who can live for at least a thousand years? This is clear. β
"But then you won't get any good. Sui Xiong said.
"I wanted to be able to do something for Mom and Dad. Yoe replied, "The headmaster has taught us a group of poems written by bards who call themselves 'Crossing Over', about the care and love that parents give to their children, and this dedication is never reciprocated by parents, and there are few ways for children to repay it properly...... At that time, I thought, what can I do for my parents, as if it is really like the poem says, even if I do something, I can't repay them for their kindness to me. I was really sad that day, and I was in a bad mood for several days on end. β
"So you decided to reward them with this?" Sui Xiong asked.
"yes, I want to do something for my mom and dad, and that's it. Yue nodded and replied with a smile.
Sui Xiong was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.
At this moment, he felt very comfortable in his heart, and there was a warm feeling.
"You're a good boy. He said, "Don't worry, my wish will come true for you." β
"By the way, you haven't decided who to believe in, have you?" he thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Well, you might as well come and believe in me." (To be continued.) )
